Nocatole-Calabrian Sweet Fritters Recipe 

My Italian relatives and in-laws stayed a month. My mother-in-law and I talk about food and lunch/dinner. Calabrian sweet fritters were her holiday Nocatole. Nocatole, Calabrian food. This Reggio Calabrian and other recipe is old. Calabrian sweets use flour, eggs, olive oil, and milk.
